Ag History (1930-1950)

  • Drought Research

    Drought Research
    The USDA completed research to better understand how crops survive during a drought. This was important because the country had just experienced a massive drought and low yields made food prices more expensive. The goal of the research was to improve yields in times of drought.
  • Tractor Technology

    Tractor Technology
    Today tractors are equipped with high-tech GPS systems and help increase food production on a significantly larger scale than ever before. Scientific discovery and technological inventions have been the key to agricultural success.
